Simply Fido Organic Cotton Dog T-Shirt - Pumpkin - Small

Now when you dress your doggy up, you can feel good knowing that it's made with organic cotton. Organic products are free of pesticides, chemicals, synthetic hormones and genetic engineering. When you choose organic, you are supporting sustainable agriculture and contribute to keeping the soil and water healthy. Choose from five irresistibly cute styles: Monkey, Peanut, Sweetpea, Princessa and Cupcake. T-shirt color is natural (off-white) and lined with brown (Monkey and Peanut), green (Sweetpea) or pink (Princessa and Cupcake).

Our graceful models are Fuzzy (l) and Trickie (r), a couple of Maltese/Poodle mixes. Fuzzy weighs in at about 5 lbs and wears a small size. His sister, Trickie is just a little bigger at 6 lbs and she is sporting a medium in this picture. (She could probably wear a small or medium.)

Why Organic?
Being a consumer of organic goods means not only keeping chemicals out of the air, water and soil, but most importantly, our bodies.

One third of all the world's pesticides are used on cotton crops alone. This is not just bad for the planet as the pesticide toxins affect all levels of the food chain, but according to the World Health Organization (WHO), some 20,000 deaths occur each year from pesticide poisoning in developing countries, many being from cotton farming.

Thanks to the pioneering efforts of organic farmers, biologically based methods of growing cotton are emerging. Working with nature rather than against nature, organically grown cotton becomes sustainable.

Organic Fiber is Better Because...

Organic production reduces health risks from harmful chemicals.

Organic farmers work in harmony with nature.

Organic clothes look and feel great! (For you and your dog, of course.)

The CE Mark is not a quality mark, but rather a symbol that indicates conformity to the legal requirements of the European Union (EU) Directive. Every manufacturer or first supplier in the Community must place a CE mark on his toy to indicate that it has been made in conformity with the essential safety requirements of the directive.

Oeko-Tex Standard 100
The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 comprehensively addresses the Human Ecology component of textile products. It evaluates and screens for any harmful substances present within processed textiles intended to come into contact with consumers.

The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 encompasses the industries established testing criteria for textile products and also addresses quality assurance and test procedures. It not only takes into account the finished textile goods, but also any associated accessories and "grey" product areas such as fibres, yarns and buttons.

In this standard, the relevant harmful substances are defined together with limiting values, taking into consideration the intended use of the product. For example, the clothing products close to the skin, such as underwear and baby products.
